Meet Shilo, a playful and affectionate companion with a zest for life and an unmistakable charm. Shilo`s youthful energy and lively demeanor suggest he`s in the prime of his life. This adventurous pup arrived as a stray but has quickly adapted to the comforts of his foster family`s home, showing off his curious, fun-loving personality.
Shilo thrives on discovery, whether it’s sniffing around on walks, exploring the great outdoors, or investigating the contents of your grocery bags. He adores playing tug-of-war with just about anything, from toys to washcloths, and will happily engage you in a game with his wagging tail and bright spirit. When he’s not on the move, Shilo is a devoted snuggler, equally content curling up next to you or finding a cozy spot near the heat for some private downtime.
A true foodie, Shilo has a keen nose for delicious treats and enjoys meals like beef stew or anything with bacon. Fully potty trained and a good leash walker, Shilo’s only quirk on walks is his unstoppable sniffing instinct, which may cause some pulling as he eagerly explores his surroundings.
Shilo gets along well with other dogs and prefers gentle, polite playmates. He shows interest in cats and squirrels, though his interactions should be supervised to ensure compatibility. He has also been friendly with children during walks.
This lovable, energetic boy would thrive in a home where he has ample opportunities for exercise, sniffing, and companionship. Whether you’re looking for a spirited playmate or a loyal snuggle buddy, Shilo is ready to bring his delightful personality into your life. If you’re ready to welcome this regal guy into your home, please complete an application and email dogfosters@barcs.org for next steps!

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time. Some animals get adopted immediately and their photos never make it onto our website—which is wonderful! If you don’t see what you are looking for, please visit our shelter to meet your perfect match today! Adoption fees are $75; however, we offer several adoption packages listed here. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
Step 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website.** Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. See below for our adoption process for animals in foster homes.
Step 2: Visit our shelter during adoption hours (Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). When you arrive, you will first be asked to fill out our Shelter Adoption Application with your information. You may also pre-fill our Shelter Adoption Application ahead of time online to save time when you are at the shelter. Your application will be processed after you meet the animal.
Step 3: Tour our adoption rooms and write down the names of animals that you would like to meet. A volunteer or staff member will help you meet your chosen animals to make a match!
Step 4: When you have selected the right animal for you, our Adoptions Team will run your Adoption Application for approval. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an adoption class where you will learn all of the details about your new adopted family member, including their known history and medical records.
What else to expect: Animals who are already spayed/neutered and past their stray hold (if applicable) can often go home with you the same day. Pick-up arrangements for unaltered animals and/or animals still on a stray hold will be made during your adoption class.
**Please note: Animals listed on our adoption pages may still be on stray hold and pending reunion with their owners, or have an existing pending adoption application.

More about this shelter
BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center.

A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
